Laser Hair Removal Damage my Breast Implants?

June 1, 2009
Asked By:

I grew some hair around the areola after I gave birth. I would like to know if it is safe to have a laser hair remove on this area. I have not heard of hair grow on this area on a woman, so I feel that my problem is isolated. Few years ago, I had breast implants. Now I am considering having laser hair removal and would like know if my implants can be affected by the laser.
